FAQs
What size screws do these caps fit?
These caps are designed to fit screws with a gauge of 10-12mm.
How do I install the screw caps?
Align the cap over the screw head and firmly press until it snaps into place.
Can I reuse the screw caps?
No, the screw caps are designed for single use and are not meant to be removed and re-applied.
Are the screw caps waterproof?
They offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to water may affect them. They are more effective at preventing rust caused by humidity.
What material are the screw caps made of?
The material can vary, but they are typically made from a durable plastic designed for this purpose.
Can I paint the screw caps?
While it's possible, it might compromise their finish and fit. It's best to select a color that matches your project.
What should I do if the cap doesn't stay on?
Ensure the screw head is flush. If the cap still won't stay, a slightly larger screw may provide a better fit.
Troubleshooting
Screw cap doesn't fit properly.
Ensure you are using the correct screw gauge (10-12mm). If the cap is too loose, try a slightly larger screw. If too tight, verify the screw head isn't too large for the cap.
Screw cap falls off.
Make sure the screw head is flush with the surface. If the screw is not properly seated, the cap may not stay on. Apply firm pressure when installing the cap.
Color mismatch.
Check the color against the project surface. Color variation can occur between batches. In case of significant mismatch, consider repainting to match with cap.

- Application: Press the cap firmly until it snaps into place. A secure fit is crucial for both aesthetics and protection.
